Steering head bearings and the swinging arm
Gripper said 2012-11-23 05:51
In my experience the two main weak points of the X8 are the steering head bearings and the swinging arm assembly. I replaced the steering head bearings myself (its a hellish job), but is there an easy fix for worn swinging arm bushes? According to my Haynes manual, its an engine-out-the-frame job. Worn steering bearings make it feel like there is a notch in the straight-ahead position. Worn swinging arm bushes make it feel like it is hinged in the middle! Help!
